Southeast Asia’s 2nd largest economy increases international passenger service charges at six airports

Thailand, the second largest airport in Southeast Asia, has raised the passenger service charge for international departures at six major airports to 1,120 THB (US$34) per person from June 20.

The increase applies to outbound international passengers and raises the charge by 390 THB from the previous rate of 730 THB.

The charge is already included in the price of air tickets, meaning travelers do not need to pay it separately at the airport.

Domestic flights remain unaffected, with the passenger service fee kept at 130 THB per person.
